Bone Stabilized Base Guide and Method for Attaching and Positioning a Robotic Intra-Oral Surgical Device

1 . A robotic surgical reference guide, comprising:

a. a base guide;

b. a reference block; and

c. one or more connection arms, wherein the reference block is connected to the base guide via the one or more connection arms.

2 . The reference guide of claim 1 , wherein the base guide comprises:

a. a generally arcuate body portion;

b. one or more connector bodies spaced generally about the body portion; and

c. a plurality of fixation ports spaced about the body portion and forming a passage therethrough.

3 . The reference guide of claim 2 , wherein the base guide is configured to index and fixate onto a patient's buccal bone at two or more fixation sites via the plurality of fixation ports.

4 . The reference guide of claim 1 , wherein the reference block is connected to a body portion of the base guide via the one or more connection arms.

5 . The reference guide of claim 1 , wherein the reference block is configured to interface with a robotic intra-oral surgical device.

6 . The reference guide of claim 5 , wherein the reference block comprises a positioning point, wherein the robotic intra-oral surgical device is configured to interface with the reference block at the positioning point.

7 . The reference guide of claim 1 , wherein the base guide further comprises protrusions formed on an inner surface of the main body and extending outward therefrom in a generally perpendicular direction.

8 . The reference guide of claim 7 , wherein the one or more of the protrusions are disposed proximate to one or more of the fixation ports.

9 . A robotic surgical reference guide, comprising:

a. a reference block;

b. a frame body; and

c. one or more connection arms, wherein the reference block is connected to the frame body via one or more connection arms.

10 . The reference guide of claim 9 , wherein the frame body further comprises one or more connector bodies formed thereon.

11 . The reference guide of claim 10 , wherein the one or more connector bodies are spaced about a length of the frame body.

12 . The reference guide of claim 10 , wherein one or more of the one or more connector bodies are configured to mate with one or more connector bodies of a base guide.

13 . The reference guide of claim 9 , wherein the reference block is configured to interface with a robotic intra-oral surgical device.

14 . The reference guide of claim 13 , wherein the reference block comprises a positioning point, wherein the robotic intra-oral surgical device is configured to interface with the reference block at the positioning point.

15 . A method of using a robotic surgical reference guide, the method comprising:

a. providing a robotic surgical reference guide;

b. fixating the robotic surgical reference guide to a patient's anatomy;

c. positioning a robotic surgical device to a reference block of the robotic surgical reference guide; and

wherein the robotic surgical reference guide fixates and relates the robotic surgical device to the patient's anatomy in accordance with a defined surgical plan.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the robotic surgical reference guide comprises:

a. a base guide;

b. a reference block; and

c. one or more connection arms, wherein the reference block is connected to the base guide via the one or more connection arms.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the robotic surgical reference guide comprises:

a. a reference block;

b. a frame body; and

c. one or more connection arms, wherein the reference block is connected to the frame body via one or more connection arms.

18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising performing a planned surgical procedure.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the robotic surgical reference guide is fixated to the patient's anatomy via a base guide.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the base guide is configured to index and fixate onto the patient's buccal bone at two or more fixation sites via fixation ports formed in the base guide.
